managed just to have a united response, but he's already changed his mind on what is it that he wants, what is the US policy on certain things.

And so the main response from here has been one of shock and then slowly moving into action, but then already having to react to the next thing.

And so us as journalists trying to cover this, you very much see this tactic working for the US in a way because they have achieved, they have achieved for Europeans to

agree to 5% GDP expenditure on defense.

They have agreed to a lopsided deal on trade.

They didn't agree on retaliation.

I mean, the threat was perhaps too short in place, the threat of tariff on Greenland for them to do anything, but it didn't come within the space of a week.

So, yeah, we're constantly kind of trying to react, but the speed at which the US administration changes policy is too much for Europeans to deal with right now.

I think that it's really quite shocking for many to see how this administration is pushing the limits of the rule of law.

You have mentioned the ice raids and the violence that has erupted in many U.S.

cities, which is obviously on all of our TV screens here, and it's something...

quite shocking to see, something that we could never imagine happening in Europe.

But then we could not imagine that happening in the US either.

So it's like a new era of violence, which we weren't prepared for.

And then also other fronts of this administration action.

One thing that has shocked many where I sit, which is a regulatory powerhouse based on the rule of law, based on institutions and multilateralism, is the treatment of Powell, the chair of the Federal Reserve.

So the idea that you can have a U.S.

president that dismisses

and tampers with independent appointees as much as this is also a big shock for the global order.

And there is a fear of what this might unleash in the long term.
